Really? Well probably this is the reason for this behaviour; I have
misunderstood that after EOI net_bh is marked active and so run queues is
performed.

Yes work will be done from the timer, but it will programmed to do the
transmittion at the proper timer and not a more or less random interval (at my
example timer 15ms, random interval aproximatelly 150ms), so shaping will be
in fact more accurate, but any way it sure adds more work for this very
special case.
